The Airdrie Brewers looked poised and ready to claim their first win in the Foothills Major Baseball Association (FMBA) last night (May 15).
Then came the last inning.
After taking a 2 - 1 lead in the bottom of the first, the Brewers gradually built the lead to 4 - 1 over the Calgary Canadians. The Canadians chipped away, closing the gap to 4 - 3 going into the seventh.
That's when the floodgates opened. The Canadians pushed five runs across the plate and took an 8 - 5 win.
The loss drops Airdrie to 0 and 4 in their first season in the FMBA. For the Canadians, it was their first win and improves their record to 1 and 3.
The Brewers have a little more than a week off before their next game. On Thursday, May 24th they'll face the Diamondbacks.
